I think there were several amazing points made in this video, however I don’t agree with all of them. I also acknowledge that i’m not very well traveled, as I just turned seventeen a few months ago, i’m also an introvert, and american- but this also means I am surrounded by people my age who are being effected by these instant gratification rabbit holes- the main being tiktok or instagram reels. i’ve noticed a huge decrease in attention span, social interaction, engaging in hobbies, and so so much more just from the social isolation these sites bring.. and it’s worse because they are highly addicting and we are their target demographic. i’ve deleted almost all social media sites, switched to (mainly) long form content, tried to take life a bit slower… but I still watch a few episodes of my shows every now and then or treat myself to a fancy coffee just for the fun of it. I think there should be a balance between the fun and the life, a balance that is being cut out due to the addiction these apps provide. yet, as you described, is the self improvement really self improvement if that is all you are doing? Overall so many great points said in this video though and I am definitely subbing for more content, keep smiling
damn man, really appreciate it. And I 100% agree with you, instant gratification is indeed doing a lot of harm, I can see that in my own life and in other people, I just felt like it's being so demonised nowadays that at least one person could say something positive about it. I'm 23 and I also have trouble with it, but it's interesting to see how many 30 year olds seem to use Social Media without any problems, maybe it's just a matter of maturity and learning to deal with it without overdoing it. But to your point, since the making of this video I have deleted social media on my phone (still use it on the computer) and I have put my phone in black and white as well, new video coming out about that soon.
I agree. But at times it's good to take a break and to integrate the sadnesses and bittersweet moments back into our life.
yeah 100%, sitting alone with your thoughts every so often is one of the best things you can do, as long as you're not lingering on it
When you said "this video is made for me" I knew it was gonna be good. Thanks for sharing man, I totally resonate with your point 🫡
Nice man, thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it
